IT: Chapter II - It Ends

You lied to us

Meg's Pov
Okay, so Mike was crazy. No, like literally. Whatever happened in these past 27 years, staying here in Derry drove him crazy. It was a shame because he wasn't like that during our childhood. But people could change, right? I changed because of my sister's death. I had to be a mother quite fast and at first, it scared me. How could I ever be a mother? I wasn't ready for this. But I promised my sister to take care of her daughter and I would not break this promise! I was someone who stayed true to – most – of their words.

Anyways, we were climbing and crawling down. I guess. No one really knew where we were going and that was what scared me the most. It could be waiting for us. This could be a trap and we could all die.,,Gosh... I sound like Eddie.",I thought as I got on the ground.,,You guys good?",Bill asked. Never better!,,Yeah.",we all said more or less. I looked behind me and saw Lia. She looked pale.,,Are you okay?",I inquired. She looked at me and nodded a bit. I took it as a "No" but that didn't matter. We had to go deeper. It was so fucking dark.,,Can you get through that?",I heard Bill asking and turned around. Okay, how the fuck should my fat ass get through this? Let me describe it like a large but thin crack in the wall. I shook my head slightly.,,It's the only way. This way.",Mike replied. Well, fuck. Bill followed Mike.,,Through here. It's tight but we can get through here.",he meant before making his way through it. I squeezed myself through this really tight crack and got to the other side. The others followed.

Mike was walking ahead of us as if he knew where to got which was not true. I hated this. The ritual and being here.... It did not feel right. Something felt off. I kept my thoughts to myself because I could be wrong and scaring the others was not an option, right now. So, I just followed.,,This is where It hid.",Mike meant and stopped walking. I saw some kind of... whatever that was and it was huge. This was hidden for centuries?! How could no one find this?,,Maybe they did and died.",I thought and walked closer as Mike and the others did. There were bones on the ground which was a little frighting.,,So, all this has been under Derry, like, forever?",Eddie inquired as we had just looked up. It did a crash landing here from the looks of it.,,Not forever. Just a few million years.",Mike answered. Oh, wow. That wasn't unsettling at all! There were like small ways we could get to the middle of this... alien, whatever it was, thing.,,Not scary at all.",I thought as we all stood there.

We stood in kind of a circle and whatever Mike had with him. That thing for the ritual. I didn't know what to call it.,,It can only be attacked in its true form. The ritual will show us that.",Mike explained. Okay, sounded good? It depended on what the true form of that fucking clown was.,,And what is It's true form?",Ben asked the question we all had.,,I hope it's a puppy. Like a Pomeranian or...",Richie hoped and when we all looked at him he added:,,I'll shut up." I mean he wasn't wrong. A puppy was cute and easy to destroy. Not that I would do it to puppies in general. Only to this one. I'm going to shut up now.,,It's light. A light that must be snuffed out by darkness.",Mike said and put fuel, gasoline, or whatever in that thing. It was definitely something that would make a fire! Then, he got a matches, lit one and threw it in there. A small fire started immediately.

,,Your artifacts.",Mike meant. Well, here went our stuff. It was a shame. I held onto mine for so long and now I had to destroy it.,,Place them in the fire. The past must burn with the present.",Mike explained to us what to do. Even if it was obvious. Everyone fished out their artifact out of their pockets. I smiled a little when I looked at mine.,,This is the boat that I built with... with Georgie.",Bill said and I looked at the boat. He told us the story many times back then and it hurt the same. Always did. He placed the boat in the fire.,,It's uh my inhaler.",Eddie meant and took one last inhale with it.,,Come on, dude.",Richie said and Eddie threw it in the fire.,,I forgot that I had it with me. Something I've kept for 27 years. It gave me strength.",I told them, looking at the drawing Bill had made.
